This morning, Ellie sat at Jackie’s feet surrounded by an assortment of her toys.
Flo entered the room on the far side and sat down with the new parrot. Ellie clambered across the room at high speed, to take on her new friend.
This afternoon Jackie drove me to Birchfield Dental Practice for an uneventful session with my hygienist.
Later I published https://derrickjknight.com/2023/08/30/glencoe/
This evening we all dined on tasty baked gammon; piquant cauliflower cheese; boiled new potatoes; corn on the cob ; and crunchy carrots, with which Jackie and Becky drank more of the Chenin Blanc, and I drank Château Gillet Bordeaux 2022.
Ellie is so adorable! I love corn on the cob, sooo delicious with salt and butter. Maybe a pinch of pepper too! ????
Thanks very much, John
You’re welcome.
Uneventful dental visits are the best.
That’s exactly what I was going to say, Anne!
I agree!
Indeed. Thanks very much, Anne
Funny how a new toy (even brand new toys) can be trumped a newer toy. Sounds like another lovely day.
Thank you very much, Pat
Ellie sure loves that parrot!
She does, Liz. Thank you very much
You’re welcome, Derrick.
YAY for uneventful dentist appointments. Bestest kind!
HA! I love how Ellie loves that parrot! She survived her BIG day and today she has energy to spare! Oh, to be young! HA! 🙂
(((HUGS))) 🙂 ❤️
Thank you very much, Carolyn X
It sounds like a mostly relaxing day after the two parties and another adorable photo of Ellie.
Indeed, Merril. Thank you very much
Lovely!
Thanks very much, Sue
Corn on the cob! So messy to eat but so rewarding a summer treat! I have two waiting for me to shuck to fix for lunch tomorrow…if I can wait!
Thanks a lot, Doug
Please, tell Jackie I said ‘hi’ and if she hasn’t tried them already, tell her to look into corn ribs. I have a feeling you guys would like them.

She’s cute. Every time I see a baby I see two faces: baby and old version of her/him, because time flies! ????
